He swivels his head
Tears his eyes from the screen
As his past puts him back in Atlantic CityThere's not even a demon in Heaven or Hell
Is it all just human disguise?
As I walk down the aisleGone gone gone spinning slack through the end?
Deadens? my brain falling up through the years
Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly
Losing breath from the water then I'm gone gone goneAnd I'm gone gone gone
Now I'm older than movies
Let me dance away
Now I'm wiser than dreams
Let me fly fly fly
While I'm touching tomorrow
And I know who's there
When silhouettes fallAnd I'm gone
Like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone through a crack in the pastLike a dead man walking
Like a dead man walkingThree old men dancing under the lamplight
Shaking their sex and their bones
And the boys that we were
An alien nation in therapy
Sliding naked and new
Like a bad tempered child
On a rain slicked streetGone gone gone spinning slack through the end?
Deadens? my brain falling up through the years
Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly
Losing breath from the water then I'm gone gone goneAnd I'm goneAnd I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone, through the crack in the pastLike a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man
Like a dead man walkingAnd I'm gone gone gone
Let me dance dance dance
And I'm gone gone gone
Let me dance dance danceAnd I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone, through a crack in the past
And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone, through a crack in the pastLike a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man
Like a dead man walking
